MIAMI (Feb. 17, 2008) Surfs up, beach boy, and tanks for the memories. Before a sellout crowd of 6,187 that produced the single largest gate in the history of the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami, Kimbo Slice registered a spectacular 43-second, first-round knockout over David Tank Abbott Saturday on SHOWTIME.
The exciting event, which was presented by Los Angeles-based ProElite, Inc.s EliteXC, aired on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). It will be replayed a few times in the next several days, including Wednesday on SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT (full replay schedule below). As far as homecomings go, it doesnt get better than this, as the incredibly popular Pride of Perrine, Fla, gave the raucous but well-behaved fans what they came to see: a devastating knockout win.
A YouTube legend and legitimate Mixed Martial Arts superstar, Kimbos performance put an exclamation point on what was an excellent night of MMA action.
We promised the fans a good, classy show and we delivered a great one, said EliteXC Live Events President and University of Miami alum, Gary Shaw. EliteXC showed tonight, once again, what MMA is all about. There were great fights with dramatic finishes, a little bit of everything for everybody.
As a promoter, you want the fans to leave with a good taste, and I truly believe that each and every person in attendance here tonight left the venue happy and completely satisfied.
I couldnt be prouder of the athletes, who acted like world champions before, during and afterward, or the fans, who turned out in record numbers. We look forward to returning to Miami again.
This was just a tremendously exciting night from start to finish. Honestly, I dont think any organization puts on better, more competitive fights that we do.
Kimbo (2-0), who may indeed be more popular than sliced bread, wowed the crowd en route to demolishing Abbott, an MMA icon who entered the cage to win. But Tank spent more time on the ground than on his feet, going down three times from legitimate punches and a couple other times from slips.
I wanted him to get up, I wanted to bang, Kimbo (http://kimboslice.proelite.com) said. I had to push him off because we were too close. Then I just knocked him down. It was great fighting in front of the hometown fans. Id be lying if I told you they didnt jack me up. Miami, you are my home.
I have a lot of respect for Tank. This was one of my dream fights, along with Mike Tyson. But I am ready to fight anybody and ready to fight again really soon.
I want to thank SHOWTIME and EliteXC for making this night possible for me and my family.
Abbott (9-14), of Huntington Beach, Calif., gave it his all, as expected. I tried to take it to him at the start and take him to the ground, but then I just said, the heck with that and started to fight, Tank (http://tankabbott.proelite.com) said. But I ran into one and that was it. I was just getting started.
It is still too early to know how good or great Kimbo will be. But what I do know is that I absolutely want to keep fighting. Maybe I will go after Ken Shamrock.
In other SHOWTIME fights Saturday, Antonio Big Foot Silva (10-1), a highly touted Brazilian who lives in Coconut Creek, Fla., recorded a hard-fought three-round split decision over former champion Ricco Rodriguez (27-8), of Staten Island, N.Y., unbeaten Brett Rogers (8-0), of St. Paul, Minn., blasted out England's James The Colossus Thompson (16-8) in the first round, Scott Hands Of Steel Smith (15-4), of Sacramento, Calif., knocked out Australian Kyle The Ozzie Noke (14-4-1), the bodyguard of the late Steve Crocodile Hunter Irwin, in the second round and Yves Edwards (33-13-1), of Conroe, Tex., stopped Edson Little Tiger Berto (14-5-1), of Tampa, Fla., in the opening session.
In non-televised undercard fights that aired for free on the leading MMA internet site, ProElite.com: Moyses Gabin (2-0), of Miami, registered a 2:32, first-round knockout over Jirka Hlavaty (1-2), of Miami, Lorenzo Borgameo (3-0), of Miami, won by submission (triangle) at 4:11 of the second round over Mike Bernhard (3-1), of Miami; Eric Bradley (3-1), of Las Vegas, Nev., took a unanimous decision over Mikey Gomez (6-4), of Orlando, Fla.; Dave Herman (10-0), of Indiana, scored a third-round TKO over Mario Rinaldi (6-3), of Miami, Yosmany Cabezas (5-0), of Tampa, Fla., won by second-round submission (rear naked choke) over Jon Kirk (10-3), of Houston, and Rafael Feijao (4-1), of Brazil, knocked out John Doyle (6-2), of Allentown, Pa., at 2:17 of the first round. (Fighter pages below).
All the fights were scheduled for three, 5-minute rounds.
Silva (http://antoniosilva.proelite.com), whose initial nine victories had come in the first round, got the nod on two of the judges cards by the scores of 30-27 and 29-28. The third judge had it for Rodriguez, 29-28.
Ricco is a dangerous fighter, said Silva, who was making his second start since dropping down after competing as a 300-pound super heavyweight. I knew it was going to be a tough fight. I fought hard and came out with a victory, but it was a difficult fight for me.
I want that belt. I am sorry that this was not the best night of fighting for me, but I promise I will deliver in my next bout. I want that heavyweight title.
Rodriguez (http://riccorodriguez.proelite.com) entered the cage with a vast advantage in experience, having fought and defeated some of the biggest names in MMA, including Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria, Tim Sylvia, Jeff Monson, Andrei Arlovski, Pete Wilson and Randy Couture.
The reality is, I didnt train as long for this fight as I needed to, but I think I showed that I am still dedicated and can fight, Rodriguez said. I am in this for the long haul and appreciate the opportunity EliteXC is giving me. I wouldnt be surprised if we fought a rematch. I would love to fight Silva again.
Smith (http://scottmith.proelite.com), who has won all 16 of his fights inside the distance, knocked out Noke in devastating fashion. After losing the first round, he came out blazing in the second. Two brutal right hands did all the damage. The referee halted matters at 0:07 of the round.
Im sorry for that first round, thats not the way I fight, Smith said. I didnt start to get comfortable until toward the end of the round.
When I got to my corner between rounds, I told my trainer that I had found my range. I came out pumped and made up for it. I was fighting way too much on the outside, but once I got inside -- bam, I knocked him down.
Noke (http://kyle-noke.proelite.com) had a four-fight unbeaten streak (3-0-1) end. This is a different feeling for me, he said. Ive never been knocked out by a punch before. I felt good after the first round, but I got caught in the second. Scott is a good, strong fighter.
Edwards (http://yvesedwards.proelite.com) earned his fourth consecutive victory by knocking out Berto with a knee and punch combination at 4:56 of the first round. Berto (http://edsonberto.proelite.com) had a three-fight winning streak snapped.
I am back and ready to fight anybody, Edwards said. Id love to fight (EliteXC lightweight champion KJ) Noons. Hes the guy with the gold. If youre not doing this to be a world champion, you better do something else.
In an upset in the first SHOWTIME fight, the hard-hitting Rogers (http://brettrogers.proelite.com) spoiled the United States debut of Thompson, bringing Colossus down to size with a flurry of powerful combinations at 2:24 of the first round.
I dont think I have to say anything; it showed for itself, Rogers said. Hes got a weak chin and I knew it was going to happen.
All he kept trying to do was wrestle me to the ground. I got back up and I knocked him out. When I touch him, hes going down. Theres going to be more of Brett Rogers on EliteXC.
Thompson (http://jamesthompson.proelite.com) offered no excuses. He caught me with good punches, he said. He hits a lot harder than I thought. Im very disappointed. My confidence isnt where it should be or where I would like it to be since after my last fight. I would fight him again in a rematch.

Consuming beets is one way to increase hemoglobin in the blood, and since the hemoglobin molecule transports oxygen throughout the body, and oxygen provides the energy that needed for all metabolic functions, one might say more is better (in this instance). Since I (Carol) am never one to pass up something that serves a dual purpose, eating something that tastes good and is good for you, has resulted in adding this recipe to my repertoire, year-round.
In this beet salad, neither starch nor vegetable is the star. Rather, they each take supporting roles, and the sum is a light, satisfying, cooked salad that can be served as a side, as lunch, or as a snack. It can be served warm, room temperature, or cool. If you like to plan ahead, you can double the recipe and freeze half, for it holds up to defrosting well.
This recipe is derived from one I found on food52; I've adapted it because I simply am a lazy cook, and if there's an easier way to shorthand a recipe, I will find it. That said, it still takes a little extra work to bring it together, but in the end, the blending of flavors and textures will make you forget all about that.
Yield: 4 servings
2 pounds beets, removed from their stem and scrubbed cleaned and outside skin peeled, cut into bite-sized pieces
Beet leaves, rinsed well, center stem removed, and chopped
1 medium onion, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, chopped
8 oz orzo pasta
4 oz. feta cheese
2 T Olive oil
¼ cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
1. Place the beets in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook until done (can be pierced with a fork), about ½ hour.
2. Meanwhile, saute the onion and garlic in a heated, oiled pan until golden, then add the beet greens. Add a dash of water if you need to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Put in large bowl and cover to keep warm.
3. When the beets are cooked, pluck them out of the water and place into the bowl, and put the orzo in the beet water (this will color them pink). Strain when done, add to the bowl, crumble the feta in, and mix well.
The ratio of ingredients is important to yield a salad that does not overwhelm with one flavor over the others. Two pounds of beets to ½ pound of orzo and 4 ounces of feta, which can be halved to 1: ¼: 2 is easy to remember once you've done this once or twice.

Rodgers sees Europa league benefit
Brendan Rodgers believes Liverpool will benefit from launching their Europa League campaign so early in the season.
Rodgers' reign as Reds manager will begin in earnest against FC Gomel in tomorrow [Thursday] night's third-qualifying round first-leg clash in Belarus' second largest city.
Far from frustrated at overseeing his first competitive match at the start of August, Rodgers insists it will provide ideal preparation for the Barclays Premier League.
"We are still finding our fitness and our match fitness so playing these games helps us," he told the club's official website, www.liverpoolfc.com.
"It will give us that edge going into the beginning of this season.
"Players at this level are competitive so they love the competition.
"Even though we are still gaining fitness it's a competitive game and it's a tournament we would like to do well in.
"It's a bit of a hike and we've got to get on our travels again, but that's life and you've just got to get on with it.
"We are looking forward to the game and hopefully it will serve us well for the beginning of the season."
Liverpool open the new Premier League season at West Brom on August 18 and Rodgers insists the domestic championship dominates the club's thinking.
"I don't want to disrespect the Europa League, but there's no doubt the league is our priority and we want to finish as high as we possibly can," he said.
"The Europa League is a competition we'd like to do well in.
"Obviously to do well in it you've got to play a lot of games and hopefully that will be the case.
"When you play for Liverpool every tournament and every game is a priority."
"I never look too further than the next game and that is Belarus on Thursday and we are looking forward to it."
FC Gomel finished third in the Belarusian Premier League last season, but lifted the domestic cup.
They have never progressed beyond the first round of any major European competition, but Rodgers is refusing to dismiss the challenge Liverpool face at Central Stadion tomorrow night.
"We have done our homework on them," the former Swansea manager said.
"They have done well to qualify for this stage, the pitch looks nice and they play a 4-2-3-1 system.
"But while I always respect the opponent we play and never underestimate them, I'm a big believer in focusing on our own game and maximising how we play the game.
"If we do that then I believe throughout the course of the season we'll have a chance of winning every game."

Forest workers measure and improve the quality of forests. Under the supervision of foresters and conservation technicians, they help to develop, maintain, and protect forests.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Forest workers typically do the following:
Forest workers typically need a high school diploma. Most get on-the-job training as they help more experienced workers. They do routine, labour-intensive tasks, such as planting or thinning trees. When the opportunity arises, they learn from experienced technicians and forest workers who do more complex tasks, such as gathering data.
Training programs for forest workers are common throughout the US. These programs, which typically take place in the field, encourage the health and productivity of a country's forests through national programs such as the Sustainable Forest Initiative in the U.S.. Some vocational and technical schools and community colleges offer courses leading to a two-year technical degree in forest management technology, wildlife management, conservation, and forest harvesting. Programs that include field trips to watch and participate in forestry activities provide a particularly good background.
Forest workers typically work outdoors, sometimes in remote locations and in all types of weather. However, the increased use of machines has reduced some of the discomfort of working in bad weather and has made tasks much safer. Forest workers use proper safety measures and equipment, such as hardhats, protective eyewear, and safety clothing. They typically work for provincial, state, or local governments or on privately owned forest lands. Those employed by forest management services may work for the federal government on a contract basis.
Most forest workers' jobs are physically demanding. They may have to walk long distances through densely wooded areas. Most are employed full time and have a routine work schedule. Seasonal employees may be expected to work longer hours and at night. Responding to an emergency may require workers to work longer hours and at any time of day.
The median annual wage of forest and conservation workers was $23,900 in May 2010. (The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less.) The lowest 10% earned less than $16,730, and the top 10% earned more than $44,780.

MCC begins reshaping process
June 18, 2008
WINNIPEG, Man. – Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) embarked on a process of reshaping itself for the future with a meeting in Waterloo, Ont., June 11 to 12.
The process, called "New Wine/New Wineskins: Reshaping MCC for the 21st Century," will engage MCC constituents, mission partners and board and staff members worldwide to create a common vision and revised structure for MCC.
Over the next 13 months, MCC's Inquiry Task Force, which met for the first time in Waterloo, will listen to MCC stakeholders in summits and regional meetings internationally and in Canada and the United States. The task force comprises 34 people from five countries and includes Mennonite World Conference representatives and other mission partners, leaders of MCC-supporting denominations, and MCC board and staff representatives. MCC Executive Director Arli Klassen leads the process.
New Wine/New Wineskins uses the principles of "Appreciative Inquiry," an organizational development process that engages individuals within an organization in its renewal. "Despite coming from different cultures and backgrounds and having different theological perspectives, the ITF members found common ground by sharing their experiences and visions for MCC in the meeting," Klassen said.
MCC will ask three core questions through New Wine/New Wineskins, according to Klassen. They center on MCC purpose, accountability and structure. "This process of discerning God's direction for MCC has the potential to increase MCC's impact around the world," Klassen said.
She emphasized the importance of widespread participation. In addition to those who are part of the summits and meetings, other interested people may share ideas and keep up to date on the discussion via a special section on the MCC Web site. This will be active by the time of the first summit, July 28 to 30, in the Philippines in conjunction with a Mennonite World Conference meeting. People may register to be notified of new posts by sending an e-mail message to email@example.com [2].
Klassen said MCC decided to undertake the New Wine/New Wineskins process to build on its strengths. "The process is being kept in perspective with our ongoing work, which continues with our usual commitment and energy. As always, we ask that you keep MCC in your prayers," Klassen said.

The courts, not JSU administration or this editorial board, will determine the fate of those accused. Those 13 suspects deserve fair and impartial justice.
Regardless of the case's outcome, the salacious hazing accusations contained in a lawsuit filed by a former Alpha Phi Alpha pledge at JSU should reaffirm the belief that hazing is an often-violent, dehumanizing practice that's incompatible with normal society.
Hazing holds long histories with social, athletic and military groups, usually couched within a weak concept of dues-paying and team-building.
That's laughable.
Too often, hazing — even if intended to be non-violent — degrades into personal attacks and embarrassing situations that can have dire results. Hazing's days as a trivial matter among friends or teammates have long passed. It's now a crime.
Now is the perfect opportunity for JSU and Calhoun County's high schools to preach — loudly — about hazing's dark side. Education, obviously, is the key.

CALOR LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION: Action man Adrian wants Robins to fly
9:00am Friday 27th December 2013 in Sport By Dan Barnes
AMBITIOUS Adrian Foster is looking up the leagues, rather than down, after being appointed Frome Town's new manager on Monday morning.
The Robins parted ways with Brian O'Donnell last weekend and moved quickly to recruit 42-year-old former West Bromwich Albion and Torquay United striker Foster from Toolstation League Premier Division outfit Gillingham Town.
Foster had been in charge of Gillingham for six years, with the Dorset outfit recently shelving plans to plans to apply to join the Calor League for the 2014-15 season, and says that the chance to take charge of Frome was too good to turn down.
"It all came a bit out of the blue. I got a call from the chairman (Jeremy Alderman) on Saturday night, ended up speaking to them on Sunday and that was it," said Foster, who lives in Yeovil and has also featured for Hereford United, Forest Green Rovers and Bath City during his playing career.
"I had a good playing career and I want to manage at the highest level possible.
"I remember looking at Frome job back when it was advertised (in October) and thinking 'that might be a good opportunity' and the chairman also told me that the club had thought about me before that but didn't think I would leave Gillingham.
"When I first joined Gillingham, we were in the Dorset Premier League and I took them up to the Toolstation League Premier Division.
"Now I'm getting the chance to manage two leagues higher and I want to try and do the same thing at Frome. I'm looking at getting to the Conference and I'd love to be a full-time manager one day.
"The team has conceded too many goals so that's something that we're going to work on improving from back to front – it's exactly what we did at Gillingham.
"I don't see the point in going in to games to try and get a point. I want to go out there to try and win every game."
Foster was due to lead his new side into a local derby at Chippenham Town for his first assignment as Frome boss yesterday.
Chairman Alderman admits that he never expected to have to sack O'Donnell and hire a third manager of the season but is excited by Foster's potential.
"Unfortunately, there were a few issues with Brian that I don't want to go too much in to but it all came to a head last week," Alderman told the Wiltshire Times.
"Obviosuly, you don't really expect to be hiring managers so often but if things aren't going right, we're not scared to change things.
"Adrian is someone we've had our eye on for a long time and I just feel that you've got to give people a chance.
"We've got in a young and ambitious manager and it is halfway through the season but I think that he's got enough time to make sure that we stay up now. We're feeling positive and we're concentrating on the future."
Late last week, Frome confirmed the signing of defedner Kris Miller, who had a spell at Badgers Hill during the 2011-2012 season, from Calor League Division One South & West outfit Bridgwater Town.
The Robins have also signed young winger Jack Whitcombe from Frome Town Sports, who play in the Mid Somerset League.

(n.) In internetworking, the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination. Routing is usually performed by a dedicated device called a router. Routing is a key feature of the Internet because it enables messages to pass from one computer to another and eventually reach the target machine. Each intermediary computer performs routing by passing along the message to the next computer. Part of this process involves analyzing a routing tableto determine the best path.
Routing is often confused with bridging, which performs a similar function. The principal difference between the two is that bridging occurs at a lower level and is therefore more of a hardware function whereas routing occurs at a higher level where the software component is more important. And because routing occurs at a higher level, it can perform more complex analysis to determine the optimal path for the packet.

My car needed to have the equipment installed but did have the XM radio already. After I left the installer I noticed stations sounded like the bottom of the oil can, or whatever. Found out my radio setup of bass,mid, and treble had reset to 0 and upon resetting obviously resolved.
Can you point me in the direction of a free trial for me car, a 2008 Avalon purchased 1.5yr ago, for at least 2 months if possible....for a 1mo plus vacation.
Thanks in advance!

The trade deadline is upon us, and I expect a flurry of activity Tuesday morning. While the prices so far have been extremely high, most of the eight playoff teams in the West still need to do some tinkering and upgrading before having a playoff line-up ready. There still remain a few big names out there (Smyth, Souray, Guerin, Bertuzzi) that may be moved by Tuesday's deadline. I also have a gut feeling we are going to see a blockbuster deal involving non-UFA assets (some names like Zherdev, Horton, that kind of player). Here is a breakdown for the current needs for the eight playoff teams in the Western Conference:
Needs: Top six scoring forward. Some of the rumoured players include Danius Zubrus, Gary Roberts (who may be already on his way to Pittsburgh as I write this), and Ryan Smyth.
Prediction: Detroit packages up prospects and a pick for a second line winger. Exciting!
Needs: A center! Realistically the Preds add a veteran winger or defenseman. This team doesn't have any real holes at all. Guys like Martin Gelinas, John Klemm, that type would fit the bill.
Prediction: Draft pick or prospect for a depth veteran forward with playoff experience.
San Jose
Needs: Veteran help! The youngest playoff team in the West suffers from inconsistency due to an overwhelming amount of youth in the line-up. Rivet addressed some of the needs for a defensive veteran to help out the young guys like Carle and Ehrhoff.
Prediction: Draft pick or prospect for a grinding winger, and maybe a depth defenseman (although all 16 playoff teams would like to add a depth defenseman).
Needs: A winger for Getzlaf and Perry (no, Shawn Thornton and George Parros won't cut it), and defenseman.
Prediction: The O'Brien to Tampa trade has given Burke a first rounder to play with. Expect them to make a fairly decent move to acquire a top six forward and a top-four defenseman.
Needs: Consistency! The leagues best home team morphs into the leagues worst road team once they leave Calgary. If they don't get home-ice advantage, things don't look good.
Prediction: Minor defensive move. Warrener has been atrocious this year and is a big liability. The Flames have no holes up front and just need to find their game.
Needs: Defensive defenseman, forward help.
Prediction: The Canucks need a defenseman after their stellar top-4, as Krajicek and Fitzpatrick aren't cutting it right now. Expect a move there, as well as getting a checking centre to replace Ryan Kesler, as he is still a ways away from returning. If Nonis still has some assets to play with, the Canucks will explore a scoring winger, but they have more pressing issues. Defenseman is a guarantee for Nonis tomorrow.
Needs: Defensive depth.
Prediction: Minor deal, if any. The Wild are strong up front but would like to add a depth guy. As Buffalo showed last year, defensive depth is a huge key for playoff hockey, and I'd expect nearly every playoff team to try and address the issue.
Needs: Top nine forward (and Marty Turco to not suck in the playoffs).
Prediction: A guy like Bondra from Chicago or Nolan from Phoenix. The Stars have a wealth of depth at defence and may move a guy to get a few picks back.
I expect a lot of depth moves to be made, as well as a few shockers. There are some big names out there and anything can happen on deadline day. I'd keep checking dobberhockey.com and wearing out your F5 button all morning.

Hey all, so I'm half way thru 5th week, still on vacation and having a great time! Doing beach action today after gym sky is blue and waves look great!
@ Jeannie I also weighed this week to find I have lost 5kg's only and was quite pissed off, then I had body fat % measured and was overwhelmed .... I have dropped from 45% body fat to 27.7% body fat, flipping amazing, I am seeing good changes and feeling better in clothing, really happy that body fat is down and annoyed weight not down so much but am going to give up on scale .... Muscle weighs more than fat, take ur body fat % and keep taking weekly photos back front and side, DON'T GIVE UP girl, u r doing great!
Chat soon
Morning Ladies...First day of week 6. Can't believe the halfway point is a week away. I'm having ups and downs. One moment I feel so good about where I've gotten, the next minute I think, this sucks, I'm not getting anywhere!
@Jeannie and Des, I'm the same way, hav not lost a lb. So depressing. I'm feeling good on the inside, but I'm not seeing anything on the outside. I am planning on taking pictures again at the half way point so I guess we'll see. Looking in the mirror though I don't see changes, and I'm not getting the compliments you would hope to be getting at this point because people can notice a change. I had been using my scale for bodyfat % and I just don't think it works. It has pretty much went down less than 1% and my weight has not budged. Somthing has got to give, right?! I bought calipers and got my bodyfat taken with that yesterday. So I'll probably wait until the end to do the measurements on that again. I have lost a total of 9 1/2 inches. That is the only thing that keeps me going, knowing I'm making something change!!
I have it in my mind to really ramp it up these next 6 weeks. Focus on hard core workouts and look to change the diet a bit to work that scale weight down. In the end, I know I'm not doing bad things for myself so I'll just keep pushing forward.
I'm having issues with the workouts right now, I do them at home, and my LBWO, squats and lunges, my upper body is having trouble supporting the weights my lower body uses. For both, I'm using 25lb dumbells, well it just hurts my arms and back...I get done and feel like I just had an upper body workout. Anyone else running into any issues like this?
Good luck everyone, make today great! BTW, who all do we still have out here on this forum? Who's still giving it 100%???
I'm still out here :) As I mentioned before I am not weighing myself and @Jeannie & @Des & @dilly- you have all convinced me to stick to that plan. The scale can play really badly with your head. I am sure that if I stepped on it I probably would not see a pound lost. it's as sure as I am that I am on the right pat. Even though they contradict each other i must focus on the affirmative and not the negative.
Workout have been pretty good and consistent (which I'm most proud of). Who out there said she lifts 25lb dumbbells for upper body? How?How is that physically possible? I'm super impresses. I struggle at times with 10 lb (dumbells) or 10 lbs on each side(=20) on barbell (do uyou call that lifting 10 or 20 lb barbell? in any even I'm only starting to up the weights now. Out of curiousity- what type of weigh do you ladies use for most UB and LB?
I'm still out here too. I am impressed with any lady doing 25 pounds per dumbbell too! Tonight I was able to lift 15 pounds in each hand (30 pounds total), and I have just worked up to that.
I am happy that I can walk very fast and jog 10 laps now on cardio days. I haven't done that for 10 years(before baby number 3). I can tell I have lost some weight, but also do not want the scale to bog me down.
I did check my waist measurement, and have lost 2 inches off of that. I need to do all of the measurements to get a better picture. I am feeling good, overall.
I must confess that I have not been eating perfectly, but far better than before. I enjoy checking this blog daily, though I don't get to post every day.
Keep up the good work!
Morning everyone
@bookit I am doing 20 pounds (9kg's) on each side so 40pounds in total on bench press and shoulder lifts, on lower body leg raises 30 pounds and calf raises around 35 pounds. Also, u must eat properly, u r putting in all this effort and not sticking to it 100% each day, I have done that before long ago on programs and u will be disappointed in the end, if anything push yourself just for each day to eat the BFL way, that's why u started this program to begin with and 70% of the success is what u eat only 30% the exercise!
@shelley cool to c u still on it!
Girls lets kick this programs butt and get rid of ours .... From week 6 onwards our bodies will have adjusted and we should see more fat loss!
Have a great day
Hey, thanks for the challenge. I needed that kick in the rear! I do not have anyone motivating me at home, as my husband has always stayed fit through chopping wood, etc. It is good to hear you tell me that the food part counts so much in the overall program. Thanks!
Dilly, have you tried using a barbell? If I understand you correctly, you're struggling with holding the dumbbells for lower body. I have that problem when I do calf raises. I'm gripping the dumbbells hard for jump squats, lunges, etc. but when I do calf raises, I feel like they're rolling out of my fingers. I think I'm moving to a barbell for these-same weight, just not depending on my fingers to do the extra work. I also bought weight lifting gloves, and that's helping. I bought them because I was getting callouses, to help with grip, and because I couldn't stop thinking about the germs. (I'm NOT a germ-a-phob, but there's a lot of sweat/snot/coughing that happens in the gym, and who knows who washed their hands when they went to the bathroom?? :)
I have some hard lessons that I learned this week that I wanted to share. Today is my free day, but I'm not going nuts this time. Last time, I was pretty indulgent and I paid for it. Too many cocktails on Saturday and I couldn't stomach cardio Sunday. Also, I will never again step on that evil device in the bathroom. It almost sent me into a tailspin for the week. My husband is going to take a 6 week picture of me next week. I'll use that as progress monitoring-not the scale and not even the body fat caliper. Des, it's nice to hear you say that about the 6 week mark. I am SUPER excited about having stuck with it this far, but haven't seen a big difference yet. Knowing that it is right around the corner is motivating!
Book It, I'm in the same boat. My husband isn't a fitness guy, and he doesn't understand why I'm doing this. Truthfully, he's a little irritated with it. BUT, it's working for me, and I see a tremendous difference in every other area of my life. Self-discipline spills over in my family and work life. I'm becoming more organized, more efficient and effective, and better at managing my time. Not nearly as much tv or facebook these days! That's a good thing!!
One more little thing that I've found is making a difference-because of the timing on getting 6 meals in, I usually eat during my planning period and don't eat during my lunch. I've started taking a 20 minute ab workout DVD to work and doing that during my lunch in my classroom. It fills the time perfectly, and feeling tight slightly sore abs keeps me in check for the rest of the day. I only do it on my cardio days. I'm waiting for the day when an administrator walks in and finds me in a dress and boots lying on the floor doing crunches! :) We do what we've gotta do, right?
*I should make it clear that the kids are eating in the lunchroom, not watching their crazy teacher lie on the floor !
Keep on keepin' on, Divas! I love this thread!
Hi everyone
In my 6th week now, can't believe it!
Had my free day Saturday and then a bad day yesterday, started off well but then was making a roast which took way longer than expected to finish cooking so landed up snacking on a slice of bread that was laid out and two spoonfuls of pumpkin pie that was actually for my 1 year old, then a taste of my moms quiche from the previous day, we ate lunch late (veggies and chicken breast which was fine) but then skipped snack and dinner. Anyway back on the bus today! Going to gym this morning, actually feeling exhausted but going to force myself to go, anyone else feeling tired at this stage?
~ des
Yes...every morning, Des. Like, feeling like there's a magnet pulling me back into bed.
But then, today-BAM!!!!!
MY FIRST BIG CHANGE: I put on my pants that were snug when I started. Not too tight, but wear-with-a-long-shirt kind of too snug. Guess what, y'all?!? THEY'RE LOOSE!!!!!
Yippie and hooray! This is the motivation I needed, heading into week 6. Because of this, I was able to hit the drive-thru for a special treat for my boys and could enjoy the smell of fries without eating one. My youngest even sweetly offered to give me a bite of oreo McFlurry and I was able to resist!
*Tomorrow, I have a very long night. Conferences that will start at 2:30 and last until 7:45. I'm trying to figure out how to work the food for this one. I see a lot of Myoplex shakes in my 24 hour future. :)
Hey guys-
@Jeannie- congratulations on your pants. I think the clothing changes are some of the best rewards from working hard. I love having those clothes that didn't fit before start to fit.
I'm sorry that I have been MIA. I am still here and doing it. Today I am officially in the second half of the program. I am so proud that I have stuck with it thus far. I didn't end up taking pictures at week 4 and will probably just take pictures again at the end of the 12 weeks.
Since I'm at the halfway point, I feel like I need to reevaluate to see if I need to make any changes. So here we go:
-I'm recommitting to more sleep
-I'm recommitting to writing my meals down (I've gotten away from this)
What about you guys?
GAH!!! Sometimes it feels like all of life is conspiring against your genuine efforts!!
This morning was the first workout I've missed in 6 weeks. I woke up so exhausted from working late last night that I decided to bump it to this afternoon. On my way home, the school called and said my youngest had a headache and I needed to come get him. Clearly, no workout today. Sometimes, there is no plan C.
So...tomorrow I'm doubling up. cardio at 4:30, Upper Body at 5. I will NOT let a day take me down!
*Disclaimer: I'm only being this dedicated because I am going to New Orleans with the hubby Sat-Tuesday, so I've decided to enjoy the food, sights, and sounds of NOLA guilt-free. I can give up 3 days (Sat is free day), but not without the hard work put in the week before.
Arrrgghh ..... Really .... Stupid flipping scale ... I clearly can't practice what I preach, I got on the scale .... Still 4 kg's down NOTHING more ..... Come ooooonnnnn already, so disappointed and irritated!
I need to call my trainer, back from leave, stayed on the second floor of a double story house, climbed more stairs than usual each day, did my BFL program while on vacation food and exercising, only indulged a bit on my free days and still only 4 kg's .... I do feel different and fit better in my clothing but this f'ing scale needs to budge at some point right? So I'm broaching week 7 ........ ??????????? When oh when is this flipping scale going to see a drastic improvement for all my blooming hard work????
Sorry girls feeling really annoyed .....
Going for a run now, better bloody melt some fat.
Hi all! Good to hear you are all doing so well!
Feeling like most of you actually, really tired and on the treadmill I'm struggling. I remember feeling like this before at this stage and gave up. But not this time don't want to go back to how I was. I saw photos of me before the other day and I looked dreadful!!!!!
The scales a pig! Lol I only lost a pound last week. But my body is telling me different. My waist is smaller, I've gone up a notch on my belt buckle and on my bra, so everything is finally shrinking! Yay
Had family and friends stay and a few problems this week and have now woken up with pulled muscle in my back, so have missed two workouts. Am still eating clean but have decided to hit back on it on Sunday. Sometimes life gets in the way, but as long as you come back from it that's the main thing.
Keep going past this point, I'm sure from how I felt last time it's a common dip.
Apologies for any mistakes my I pads gone funny and I can't see what I am writing.
Best of health to you all x
Ps: DILLY! - just saw your post to me on the alcohol thred lol thank you! Yes I bet we would! Fellow vino lover :-)))) xxxx
@Des, DON'T get yourself down!!! You ARE NOT ALONE!!! I was THRILLED on tuesday when I weighed myself and finally was down 1.5 lbs since the beginning!!! Sort of depressing, but It almost has become a little bit of a joke for me 'REALLY, ALL THAT WORK, AND THE SAME WEIGHT?!". I do get annoyed when I see the scale not moving, but I also know I'm doing what I should be doing, and I've seen a change in inches and most importantly I feel better, I figure the weight will follow, just keep pushing forward. Remember the main goal is to make better habits, and feel better about yourself. Considering you are still going strong, I'm sure you are doing those things. Keep up the GREAT work!
@Jeannie, Don't beat yourself up over one workout! If you've made it to week 6, and only missed one, that is 35 workouts you have done! Just get right back up on that horse and keep on riding! One workout isn't going to make or break you. This is Body for LIFE...in these 12 weeks we need to learn to deal with the obstacles life throws at us. If you got up the next day and did your workout...then you succeeded!!!
@Clare, AMEN! It's my sanity in a bottle! :-)
Keep it up ladies! Remember, Success is a journey, not a destination! No matter what at the end of 12 weeks, we don't stop eating right and working out...we continue with the tools we are learning now. Keep making lifetime GOOD habits!!

What is Respiratory Infection?
A respiratory infection is an infection of the nose, throat and upper airways and affects pets just like they do when humans suffer from colds, flu, and chest or sinus problems. Although respiratory infections tend to be more common in cats, dogs are susceptible to them as well. There are various types of respiratory infections and these include feline rhinotracheitis, feline calici virus and chlamydia in cats or kennel cough in dogs.
Respiratory infections are contagious and are spread through direct contact with an infected dog or cat. This condition may develop suddenly, from time to or be persistent. If left untreated, respiratory infections may develop into secondary bacterial infections as a result of a weak immune system. These infections are most common in young or elderly pets, those that are stressed and have suppressed immune systems.
The common symptoms and signs of respiratory infections include:

This is a story from a few years back, but it's one of our favorites…
Jason "J-Mac" McElwain, an autistic basketball player, got into a high school game in the 4th Quarter and tied a school record with SIX 3-POINTERS IN FOUR MINUTES. An incredible feat for anyone, let alone someone with autism.
We had the pleasure of meeting Jason when we went on CBS' The Talk a few months ago. Great guy. Zev has a pretty nasty 3-Point stroke also – he's been known to get on hot streaks of his own in our Men's Rec League hoops games – so we asked if they could find us viagra prescriptions a hoop on the lot to conduct a little shoot-out… but there was no hoop to be found. The showdown had to wait.
But whenever J-Mac's ready, Zev's ready.

Today in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, sports fans lined up in droves for a chance to find a golden ticket hidden inside a chocolate bar.If found, the golden ticket will provide a private tour of TD Banknorth Garden as well as tickets to various games and events in the venue. The giveaway was inspired by the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and can also serve as an innovative way to give out favors at the end of your favor.While it may be difficult to place a golden ticket inside a candy bar wrapper, consider giving out small bags of jellybeans. Announce that there is a special prize for anyone who finds a blue jellybean in their bag (doesn't have to be blue, but do make sure there's only a set number of them involved in the giveaway).Once they are found, line up the winners and present their prizes for all the guests to see.This kind of party favor giveaway works best in a large group. You don't want there to be more people with winning jellybean bags as opposed to those without.

HARTFORD -- Three decommissioned nuclear plants in New England said Thursday they've been reimbursed nearly $160 million from the federal government in a 14-year-old lawsuit over costs to dispose of spent nuclear fuel that has yet to be removed.
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Co., Maine Yankee Atomic Power Co., and Yankee Atomic Electric Co. said the federal government decided against appealing a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling upholding claims of $39.7 million to Connecticut Yankee in Haddam, $81.7 million to Maine Yankee in Wiscasset, Maine, and $38.3 million to Yankee Atomic in Rowe, Mass.

Father, Son Ran $2M Synthetic Pot Business: Feds Charge
The father-son team ran a mail order synthetic marijuana business, according to federal authorities.
Posted by Brian Slupski (Editor) ,
A father and son were charged with running a $2 million mail order synthetic marijuana business.
James Matthew Bolin, 49, and his son, 31-year-old Jimmy Bolin, of Illinois, were indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday.
"The Bolins bought and sold products that they and their suppliers―located in California, Florida, and New York―falsely referred to as 'incense,' 'herbal incense,' 'herbal potpourri,' and other misleading names, but, in fact, the drugs were falsely labeled, indicating they were not intended for human consumption when they actually were," the U.S. Attorney's statement said.
"The packages also failed to bear labels identifying the name and quantity of active ingredients, as well as the name and location of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, the indictment alleges."
According to Thursday's indictment, The Bolins bought, marketed and sold products identified as G-20 Herbal Potpourri, Joker Herbal Potpourri, Caution Blitzen Herbal Potpourri, Kronik Kryponite Herbal Potpourri, AK-47 24 Karat Gold Potpourri, ZenBio Sonic Zero Cherry, ZenBio Sonic Zero Blueberry, Hip Hop, Darkness Prince, Out World, Cherry Bomb, Caution Platinum Super Strong Incense, Caution Silver Super Strong Incense, Diablo Botanical Incense, Bizarro, Smoking Santa, Mr. Happy and OMG Next Generation.
They were charged with "multiple offenses relating to misbranding and trafficking drugs," according to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's Office. James Matthew Bolin also faces seven counts of money laundering.
The Bolin's synthetic marijuana enterprise ran from January 2010 through June 2013 and netted them about $2 million, the indictment states.

The Patch is a mess. This story is appearing on the Wantagh Patch. We don't care about Illinois stories.
Jane Jay February 04, 2014 at 10:05 AM
These national news stories are getting irritating. The Patch is supposed to be a local news outlet. Yet you post articles to facebook with no indication that they are national in order to drive up the number of hits you get to your site. I'm going to unfollow you on facebook if you don't start clearly indicating which stories are local and which ones are not. I'm not interested in news from California. I'm interested in what is going on in the town I live in.
Joe A. (Average) February 04, 2014 at 10:09 AM
Good story. Debbie, this is Salem patch not windham patch, get your own! I thought this was very interesting considering Salem's own smoke shop was raided not too long ago for synthetics, and bath salts. This story is very meaningful to me and I enjoyed reading it, as it keeps me aware of the criminal intents of today. NH, with increasing population of drug abusers, needs to keep its ears and eyes open for these types of drug chains, and use prior indictments (such as this one) from across the country to better morph its drug task force to handle today's style of problems and criminals within state lines. It's bringing awareness to us Salem residents, and I guess apparently Windham ones too..
Trish Fitzpatrick February 04, 2014 at 10:37 AM
What's going on with the influx of national "stories"? Patch is sold to people as being local.
william savick February 04, 2014 at 10:45 AM
Three years and 2 million bucks, but how many buyers suffered ill-effects and permanent damage from these concoctions. Probably more news to come .
Joe A. (Average) February 04, 2014 at 11:06 AM
Everyone should at least have a smiley face in their post, considering these losers are now off the streets and not trafficking any more drugs, potentially to our friends or family.
caryle tracy February 04, 2014 at 11:40 AM
I like that Patch is now including more news outside just the area of local. It's a huge globe we travel on. A lot of "outside news" affects local happenings. An recent example was the "Bridgegate" thing. It didn't happen in my local back yard; it affects my broader backyard and that of many others; and it was interesting reading most of the perspectives of those who were directly affected by it... And those who weren't... So I say Thank You to the Editors for doing this ( and Patch) . May You keep on keepin' on!!
caryle tracy February 04, 2014 at 11:45 AM
This is a good story and valuable information. I had very little knowledge of this and now I have more. And am glad to see that this travesty of a " family business" is shut down....
caryle tracy February 04, 2014 at 11:46 AM
And it was mail order... Mailed perhaps to your local area?
caryle tracy February 04, 2014 at 12:01 PM
P.S. forgot to mention You specifically, Matt Skoufalis, Excellent Editor...
Jane Jay February 04, 2014 at 12:37 PM
Caryle, I am interested in national news--international news, too--but not on The Patch. The Patch was a local news source and it was great for finding out about all the news going on locally, whether it was big enough to make it to the other regional news sources or not. If they're going to do a 180 and start carrying national news, I think a) they need to inform their customers; and b) when they link to a story on facebook (via their local Patch) they should indicate if it is local or national so you don't have to click and read the article to find out. I have other sources I prefer for national and international news, but The Patch was THE source for local news.
steve forte February 04, 2014 at 12:41 PM
Synthetic weed . So much more dangerous then the real stuff. Decriminalize it and call it done.
Deep Throat February 04, 2014 at 01:39 PM
I guess it's time for an informal vote. Those who want the patch to keep it just LOCAL, recommend this comment. If I get 10 recommends, then it's final we win. LOCAL ONLY. Let the voting begin!
donna manz February 04, 2014 at 01:43 PM
my god, WHAT has happened to the Patch? Why are we getting national news rather than local news? Are there NO editors? I'm not bothering to click on the Patch any longer ....
Pauly February 04, 2014 at 03:39 PM
Whats the big deal about a little national news also, dosent your local patch supply you with enough local news? Im in California and this is kind of an interesting story. My local Patch tells all the local stuff but their journalism is a little.........off.
steve forte February 04, 2014 at 04:02 PM
Maybe this format is just for a few days until they get everything In place. Who knows, the alternative may have been looking at a page with 2 local stories and nothing else.
Deep Throat February 04, 2014 at 07:07 PM
54 minutes to go, I still need 3 votes or the patch can print anything
Just Wondering February 04, 2014 at 11:24 PM
Havre de Grace Patch you have did it again. Where is our local news? This stuff is sold on the corner gas station.
K.J. Dolney February 05, 2014 at 07:49 AM
Wow, synthetic pot! Who'da thought??? Wonder if I kin git a lid of "Virgin Polyester?" It don't wrinkle the wrappers when it's rolled!
Michelle February 05, 2014 at 12:50 PM
Why is this relevant to my Milfird Ma Patch? A few more days of this type of non relevant crap and its bye-bye Patch, I can get the same crap from the local papers...bring back those you got rid of...they got the job done right!!!

The integration of the liberal arts and career development is a major strength of Ashland University. Through what might be called a synthesis for learning, Ashland University has faced the challenge of, on the one hand, meeting discipline standards for certifications and keeping majors up to date while, on the other hand, preserving the liberal arts and allowing students a measure of flexibility in their course selection. The concept which has evolved contains three primary elements: core requirements, major/minor requirements and elective courses.
Ashland University intends to liberate the minds of students and to challenge each student to reach his or her full potential. Academic Affairs works to see that the teaching and program core of the institution allow and encourage that growth.
Academic Affairs is administered by the Provost through the Academic Council.

Like a fruity slush, but for grownups.
They invented a version of this cocktail at El Floridita bar in Old Havana for Ernest Hemingway before he went into his mojito phase. But the originals could never have been as perfect as ours, which celebrates the juicy sweet-tartness of Quebec strawberries.
I add a splash of Fragoli, an Italian wild strawberry liqueur, for extra strawberry intensity. You can, too, but it's not essential.
Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
Serves 1
In a blender, purée
The daiquiri should be the consistency of thick slush. Pour into a martini glass and stir in a splash of strawberry liqueur, if desired.
